The American Conservative Union has put out its new ratings of all 50 states, and the Massachusetts Legislature came out the absolute worst when it comes to fiscal and social conservatism. Dead last.

“It’s tough not to regard Massachusetts as the shining example of bad liberalism in America,” said Ian Walters, communications director of the American Conservative Union Foundation.

Basing its ratings on votes ranging from tax hikes to reductions in spending, the ACUF found that more than 100 of the 160 Massachusetts House members ranked a score of under 10 percent, putting them in the “Coalition of the Radical Left.” And 29 members of the state Senate joined the coalition.

Only a single legislator earned an award for “excellence” — that’s Rep. James Lyons of Essex County. And just 10 others got an “achievement” award, indicating a score of between 80 and 89 percent — or essentially a B grade. All of them, not surprisingly, are Republicans, and just one was in the Senate — Ryan Fattman.

The state Senate rated as more radically liberal than the House. Even among Republicans, the score was 60 percent, or a D mark.

The rankings are based on a series of 16 votes taken in the House and 13 votes in the Senate last year, including putting the so-called “millionaire tax” on the ballot, which just this week was struck down by the Supreme Judicial Court, and an amendment to cut the income tax rate, which failed miserably.

Other votes included: Gov. Charlie Baker’s amendment to institute cost-saving reforms at MassHealth; an amendment to cut funding to the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and bills reducing funding for free school lunches, the state travel and tourism office, and a rental assistance program.

The ACUF also counted votes on an amendment laying the groundwork for single-payer health care, and bills reducing funding for community organizations, cutting funding for the Transformative Development Fund, and funding for the Office of Campaign and Political Finance.

This is the third year in a row that Massachusetts lawmakers snatched the worst ranking, so we are remarkably consistent anyway.

As for the most conservative Legislature in the nation, you might be surprised to know it’s Tennessee.

And don’t forget — one person’s bad liberalism is another’s exceptional liberalism. Massachusetts liberals are proud of their ranking.

So next time you see someone from Vermont — like Bernie Sanders — turn up your nose and tell them they got nothing on you.
